Moston Parish Council would like to offer help and support to the parish in these challenging times.

At the moment it is not entirely clear what support will be required. Some people may need supplies, prescriptions collecting, items posting, dogs taking to the vet, etc. This may be because they are in a vulnerable population or because they are in self isolation. Please contact either myself Kristine Pemberton (clerk@mostonparishcouncil.org or 07854594726) or one of the councillors if you would like any help. If you suspect that a neighbour will not see this message or may need help then please drop a note through their door with my phone number.

Following the adoption of the Local Plan Strategy, the Council has been preparing a number of additional planning policy documents to provide further guidance. The Brooks Lane (Middlewich) draft Development Framework (Masterplan) Supplementary Planning Document (“SPD”) has been prepared to provide further guidance about a site allocated for redevelopment in the Local Plan Strategy – Brooks Lane (Middlewich) strategic location (LPS 43). The draft development framework has been prepared by consultants, Barton Willmore, on behalf of the council. The council is now seeking views on the document prior to it being finalised and adopted as a SPD, As a SPD, its guidance would need to be taken into account in deciding relevant planning applications affecting the site.

Consultation on the draft Brooks Lane (Middlewich) Development Framework is taking place between the 14 January and 5pm on the 25 February 2019. The document will be available to view on line at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/localplan, at Middlewich Library and at the following Council Offices during their normal opening hours:
